PREFACE 



This book is intended to form a groundwork for three 
lecture courses given in Harvard University. It contains 
such apparatus of lists of authorities, materials, and lec- 
tures, and such suggestion for reading, written work, and 
examination, as may set the student on the road ; how far, 
how swiftly, and how safely he goes, must then depend 
upon his own abilities and resolution. 

The book is founded on several previous publications 
of a similar kind, published under the titles " Outlines," 
" Suggestions for Students," and " Revised Suggestions," 
but the material has been carefully worked over for the 
present book. The important part which relates to the 
weekly papers in United States history has been thoroughly 
revised, recast, and verified by Mr. W. E. Dorman, for 
several years the efficient assistant in that work. The 
subjects for special reports in History 13 have been also 
culled and restated by Dr. Elliot H. Goodwin and ^Ir. 
W. H, Gushing. Mr. D. M. Matteson has verified and 
enlarged many of the references.

HISTORY, DIPLOMACY, AND 
GOVERNMENT 

Part I 
PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS 

§ I. The Three Courses in American History, Diplo- 
macy, and Government. 

This book has been prepared as an aid to three courses 
which are offered by the Department of History and Govern- 
ment at Harvard University: (1) History 13, Constitutional 
and Political History of the United States, 1783-18G5; (2) His- 
tory 14, History of American Diplomacy ; (3) Goverxment 12, 
The American Political System, National, State, and Municipal. 

Brief descriptions of these courses in their relation to the 
other offerings of the department, and a tabular view of exer- 
cises, will be found in the annual descriptive pamphlet, entitled 
Division of Hislortj and Political Science, to be had on applica- 
tion at the Publication Office, 2 University Hall. 

The three courses include work of two ver}^ different kinds. 
The history courses attempt to follow out in narrative form the 
development of American diplomatic history throughout, and 
of American political history since the Revolution. For this 
purpose it is necessary to dwell upon the succession of events, 
and the relations of one period to another ; and the present con- 
dition of American government is referred to onl}' by way of 
illustration and comparison. In the course on government, on 
the other hand, the attempt is made to show what the institu- 

y 



10 PRELIMINARIES [§§ 

tions of the United States now are ; and narrative history is 
brought in only to throw light upon present conditions. The 
historical courses include the personal element, the interplay of 
parties, and the rise and disapi)earance of political and inter- 
national questions ; the government course deals with the 
present practice of government, and does not include questions 
of motive ; persons are treated only as illustrating variations in 
practice. In the first group judgment may be passed on ques- 
tions long since obsolete ; in the second group, the constant 
inquiry is, How is government now administered, and how 
may it be improved? 

§ 2. Ground of the Courses. 

History 13, the general narrative course, aims to describe 
the conditions under wliich the nation of the United States has 
developed into its present form, and the causes, motives, and 
standards which have directed the political policy of the coun- 
try. At the same time, students are expected to learn the 
methods of ascertaining historical truth, and to acquire the 
habit of reasoning on political and constitutional questions, so 
that they may apply the material of the course to current events 
and future questions. The lectures begin at the close of the 
Revolution, and go down through the Civil War. See List 
of Lectures, Handbook^ § 19. 

History 14, on American diplomatic history, covers the whole 
field from the discovery of America to the present time. It 
includes negotiations and treaties between European powers 
relative to America, the diplomacy of the Revolution and 
Confederation, and of the United States under the Federal 
Constitution. The course includes not only the history of 
negotiations and treaties, but the gradual growth of the prin- 
ciples of international law which have been invoked in these 
controversies. 



1, 2] GROUND OF THE COURSES 11

GovKRXMENT 12 is an advanced course, intended primarily for 
graduates, limited in number. It is open only to those who have 
already a knowledge of the annals of American history and a 
considerable training in history and government. It is intended 
to discuss the practical workings of the American system of 
government as it now exists, with constant reference, how- 
ever, to the historical growth of the institutions described ; 
hence the course goes beyond the text of constitutions and 



12 PRELIMINARIES [§§ 

statutes, and seeks to leavii the actual practice of otticials, 
legislative bodies, and political parties and orgauizations. 

Among the subjects to be discussed are : the historical and 
leo-al basis of government in the United States ; the American 
people, races, numl)ers, elements, distribution ; personal rights, 
citizenship, privileges and duties of citizens ; status of negroes, 
Chinese, and Indians ; formation and amendment of constitu- 
tions, both state and national ; the suffrage, and the degree 
and manner of its exercise; political parties and party ma- 
chinery ; state and local government ; problems of city govern- 
ment ; the functions of the three departments of government, 
executive, legislative, judiciary, — especially the civil service, 
procedure of legislative bodies, and jurisdiction of the courts; 
territorial powers, including the growth of territory, and the 
status of colonies and dependencies ; financial and commercial 
powers, including the administration of the tariff, public lands, 
internal improvements, public buildings, and shipping ; foreign 
powers and treaties ; the military system, including the militia 
and pensions; education, religion, and general welfare; enforce- 
ment of law and maintenance of order. See List of Lectures, 
Handbook, § 21. 

§ 3. Choice and Succession of Courses. 

History 13 is perhaps better taken in the Junior or Senior 
year, when the mind has a store of facts and conclusions on 
current politics and history ; though qualified Sophomores and 
even Freshmen may be admitted. It is not expected that the 
history course will be taken by the same student in the same 
year as the diplomacy or government course, inasmuch as the 
former, or its equivalent, is a ]>reparation for the two latter. 
History 13 is adapted to future journalists, active business men, 
public men, and lawyers ; it may be advantageously taken at 
the same time as History 12 (English History since 1689), His- 



2,3] CHOICE OF COURSES 13 

tory 16 (Continental Europe since 1713 ), History 10 (Colonial 
History), Government 4 (International Law), or Economics 6 
(Economic History of the United States). It is introductory 
to History 24'- (United States since the Civil War), Govern- 
ment 12 (American Political System), and to History 20e 
(Seminary in American History and Institutions). 

History 14 is intended to be a Senior course, following 
courses in International Law and narrative American history. 
It should be useful to students of American territorial and 
commercial questions. It is not a course in International Law, 
the general principles of which are assumed to be familiar to 
the students who elect History 14. This work is of graduate 
grade, though not limited to graduates. The course fits in 
well with advanced courses in later European history and with 
Government 15 (Advanced International Law). 

Government 12 is intended for future teachers of history, 
investigators and writers upon constitutional (piestions ; it is 
also adapted for men who are to study polities and law. A 
small number of qualified Seniors may be admitted, especially 
if they expect to follow up tiiis line of study in the Graduate 
School. The course in government expects a previous knowl- 
edge of the annals of American history, for which History 13 
would be a suitable preparation. History 10 (Colonial History) 
is also ver}' desirable. Government 1 (Constitutional Govern- 
ment) and Government 7 (Leading Principles of Constitutional 
Law), are more elementary courses on similar lines; and His- 
tory 23 (Select Topics in American Institutions) and Govern- 
ment 10 (Modern Governments) are parallel in degree of 
advancement, and work in with the general subject of Govern- 
ment 12. The course in government is often taken in con- 
nection with History 20e (Seminary in American History and 
Institutions). The most useful parallel course is Government 
14 (Constitutional Law). 



14 PRELIMINARIES [§§ 

For students who expect to come up for higher degrees in 
history or political science it is desirable to take narrative 
courses (such as History 10 or 13) not later than the Junior 
year; Government courses (as Government 10, 11, 12) not 
later than the Senior year ; and the Seminary in the Graduate 
School. 

§ 4. Previous Preparation. 

History 13 is intended for students who have already taken 
some narrative or descriptive work, such as Government 1 
(P^lementary Constitutional Government) or History 10 (Colonial 
History). Those who have had neither of these courses will 
do well before entering the course to read at least one of the 
following selections : (1) Reuben G.Tliwaites, TJie Colonies; (2) 
John T. Morse, Jr., Benjamin Frankliii, and Henry Cabot 
Lodge, George Washington^ Vol. I ; (3) Albert Bushnell Hart, 
American History told by Contemporaries^ Vol. II. History 1 
(Mediaeval and Modern) or Economics 1 (Principles) may be 
accepted as a sufficient preliminary training. Mature students, 
especially those coming from other colleges, will be admitted 
on showing that they have had such previous training as will 
enable them to profit by the course and to do the written 
work. 

History 14 is a special course, in its nature available only 
for students who have already studied the narrative background 
of American history, and are familar with the general principles 
of International Law. For good preliminary reading, which 
will take off part of the parallel reading of the course, students 
should go through: J. H. Latane, Diplomatic Relations of 
the United States and Spanish America; Eugene Schuyler, 
American Diplomacy ; Albert Bushnell Hart, Foundations of 
American Foreign Policy. 

To enter Government 12 it is expected that the student 



3-6] TIME NECESSARY 15 

shall have had thorough previous training in American history, 
and shall be well acquainted with some other contemporary 
field of history. History 10 (Colonies), History 13 (United 
States), History 24'-^ (United States since the Civil War), 
Government 1 (Elementary Constitutional Government), Gov- 
ernment 10 (Modern Government) are obvious preparatory 
courses. The best preliminary reading and the backbone of 
the course is James Bryce, American Commonwealth (2-volume 
edition). 

§ 5. Time Necessary for the Courses. 

It will not be possiV)le to do the work expected in either of 
these courses in less than about one-quarter of the time annually 
given to his whole group of studies by an industrious student. 
Of this time most students probably spend about one-half 
upon the preparation for the written work ; the other half 
upon the general reading parallel with the course. 

i; 6. Methods employed in the Courses. 

Neither the course in the I'nited States political history nor 
that in diplomatic history is intended to be a complete survey of 
the whole field. The ottject of the instruction is not so much 
to furnish a body of information as to train students to apply 
what they learn, and to compare that knowledge with the new 
ideas which come to them. Since the}' are meant to be training 
courses rather than information courses, neither of them forms 
a complete chronological sequence ; they suggest the essential 
elements of American history and diplomacy, and discuss the 
things which have really made a difference in the development 
of the country. The instructor in his lectures suggests pro- 
portions and arrangements of facts, and endeavors to show the 
connection of events with each other; and he lays much stress 
upon historical geography, especially the territorial growth of 



16 PRELIMINARIES [§§ 6-8] 

the country and the geography of the slavery question. Details 
are to be filled in by the student from his own reading parallel 
with the course. Since listening to lectures and reading both 
tend to become mechanical, students are expected in preparing 
the " special reports" to acquire practice in the use of mate- 
rials and in the application to constitutional or international 
questions of principles which they have already learned. A 
special weekly exercise, the so-called " weekly papers," is also 
introduced, to train the reasoning powers upon the questions 
discussed. finally, examinations are intended to test the 
judgment and the sense of proportion on the part of the stu- 
dent. Students in either of the three courses will therefore 
be expected to show proficiency in each of the following fields, 
more detailed accounts of which will be found below : 

(1) The facts and principles set forth in the lectures and 
recorded in note-books, including the historical geography of 
the United States ; the results to be tested in the " weekly 
papers" and by the examinations. See Handbook^ §§ 14-21. 

(2) Facts and principles derived from reading, in many 
cases on topics not discussed in detail in the lectures ; results 
also tested by the examinations. See Handbook, §§ 22-25. 

(3) Ability to reason on brief unfamiliar questions within 
recognized fields, as shown by the "weekly papers." See 
Handbook, §§ 26-123. 

(4) Such knowledge of sources, and ability to combine facts 
derived from them into a statement useful for other people, as 
may be shown in the special reports. See Handbook, §§ 124- 
153. 

(5) An ability to retain and to apply the principles gained 
from the work of the course, including the parallel reading, as 
tested in examinations. See Handbook, §§ 154-160. 



Part II 

MATERIALS 

§ 7. Use of Books. 

Inasmuch as the value of both the historical and narrative 
courses lies chiefly in the use of one's own powers, it is ex- 
pected that all students will acquire the habit of using books, 
and many books. Brief text-books will be required, but must 
be supplemented by wide reading in the general literature on 
the subject ; and the courses are so arranged that students may 
often read the most important chapters of several books rather 
than the wdiole of any elaborate w'ork. The use of biblio- 
graphical helps will be enforced at the begiiniing of the narra- 
tive course (History 13) by a bibliographical report (Handbook, 
§ 129) ; and constitutional or international treatises are to be 
examined as a beginning for the work on "papers" (Hand- 
book, §§ 26-31). The sources will be used for most of the 
special reports in all the courses (Handbook, §§ 124-153). 
Throughout the courses, students will be expected to acquire 
their knowledge of facts and their foundation for conclusions 
from a variety of material. 

§ 8. Libraries Available. 

To make it possible to do work of the kind just described, 
generous library facilities are necessary. In the Harvard 
College Library will be found three special collections of books 
intended respectively for the three courses. 

17 



18 MATERIALS [§§ 

For History 13 the old Art Room in the College Library is 
practically an alcove of reserved books on Colonial and United 
States history. It contains most of the standard books neces- 
sary for the course, arranged alphabetically by ranges, many 
of them in duplicate or triplicate copies. 

For History 14 there is a special case of reserved books in 
the Library Reading Room, in connection with which should 
also be used the adjacent case on International Law. 

In another place are the books for Government 12, arranged 
with the reserved books for several other college courses on 
government, under the rubric " Government," alphabetically 
by authors, in one alphabetization. 

In the Library Reading Room are catalogues and other biblio- 
graphical aids, and at the desk are deposited special copies of 
the Handbook ; Channing and Hart, Guide to the Studt/ of 
American History ; A. B. Hart, Foundations of American For- 
eign Policy ; and A. B. Hart, Actual Gorernment ; each bear- 
ing in the margin the lilirary numbers of the books cited. 
The valuable collection of government documents, records, and 
debates of Congress, including a set of the opinions of the 
Attorueys General and of the decisions of the Supreme Court, 
are in the old Art Room. 

In the Delivery Room of the Library is the card catalogue, 
a practical knowledge of which will be one of the earliest 
requirements of the courses. 

Several other collections of books are available in Cambridge. 
Full sets of the decisions of State Courts, and of the United 
States District, Circuit, and Supreme Courts, and also the 
digests, are in the Law School Library, which is not accessible 
for ordinaiy use by college students. The library of the Har- 
vard Union is expected to include books commonly used for 
reference in college courses; and several of the clubs have a 
like provision. The Cambridge Public Library on Broadway, 



8, 9] LIBRARIES 19 

not far from the College Yard, may be used by ain' coutinuing 
resident of Cambridge. 

In Boston, the magnificent collections of the Boston Public 
Library (Copley Square) are generously open for use in the 
building to all comers. A remarkable set of United States 
Public Documents will be found convenient for work on special 
reports by students who live in Boston, or have not the use of 
the College Library. Within the Public Library is Bates Hall, 
with a large select collection, open in the evening. The INIassa- 
chusetts State Library (State House) has a valuable set 
of documents and State statutes. The Social Law Library 
(Suffolk County Court House) can be consulted through law- 
yers who are members. The Massachusetts Historical Society 
(Boylston Street and the Fenway) has a special collection on 
early Colonial history, of great value ; it can be used by intro- 
duction from the instructor in the courses. The Boston Athe- 
nseum (old building on lieacon Hill, new building on Arlington 
Street) has imi)ortant files of newspapers, and is rich in mate- 
rials for diplomatic history. It is a private library, from which 
books may be drawn only by shareholders ; but in case of 
necessity, it is courteously open to qualified students who 
have a definite purpose. 

One of the necessities for training men in history and gov- 
ernment is that they understand how to use libraries, through 
catalogues, check-lists, bibliographies, footnotes to secondary 
writers, and such aids. The special report work (Handbook, 
§§ 124-153) will both train and test such knowledge. 

§ g. Text-books. 

Each of the three courses will be backed up by a brief general 
book or set of books, intended to give to the student early in 
his study a connected view of the whole subject, and to furnish 
an essential body of facts. Students are expected to own 



20 MATERIALS [§§ 

these books, including this Handbook^ or to have constant 
access to them. 



In History 13 no single volume or set of books has yet 
been published which covers the whole field in convenient 
form. The basal text-books will therefore be three, costing 
together about $4 : 

Handbook of the History^ Diplomacy^ and Govei'nment of 
the United States (Cambridge, Harvard University, 1901). 

Epochs of American History, Vols. II, III (rev. ed., N. Y., 
Longmans, Green & Co., 1897). 

Alexander Johnston, History of American Politics (rev. ed., 
N. Y.-, Holt, 1892). 

For History 14 the text-book will be: John B. Moore, 
American Foreign Policy (in preparation, to be published by 
Longmans, Green & Co., N. Y.). Until that book is issued, 
the text-books will be the three following, and should cost 
about $4 : 

John W. Foster, A Century of American Diplomacy, 1776- 
1876 (Boston, Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1900). 

Albert Bushnell Hart, The Foundations of American Foreign 
Policy (N. Y., Macmillan, 1901). 

Eugene Schuyler, American Diplomacy and the Furtherance 
of Commerce (N. Y., Scribner, 1886). 

For GovERXMENT 12 the main text-books will be two, costing 
about $5 : 

James Bryce, The American Commonwealth (2 vols., rev. 
ed., N. Y., Macmillan, 1893-1895). 

Albert Bushnell Hart, Actual Government (N. Y., Longmans, 
Green & Co., 1902). 



9,10] TEXT AND REFERENCE BOOKS 21 

§ 10. Essential Reference Books. 

In addition to tlie text-books, for each course there will be 
necessary a small number of books which all students will be 
expected to use, and to which they should have constant access. 

In History 13 the essential reference books are as follows; 
the set of six volumes and one pamphlet costs about $19: 

Channing and Hart, Guide to the Study of American History 
(Boston, 1896). — A classified and topical bibliography of Colo- 
nial and Federal history to 1865, especially useful in the work 
on special reports. Special copy with library numbers in the 
Reading Room. 

Text of the Constitution of the United States. The most 
convenient verbatim text is in American History Leaflets, No. 8. 

Thomas M. Cooley, General Princij)les of Constitutional Law 
in the United States (3d. ed., McLaughlin's, Boston, 1898). — 
The standard brief treatise on Constitutional Law. 

Albert Bushnell Hart, American History told hy Contem- 
poraries, Vols. Ill, IV (N. Y., 1901). — This is a set of related 
extracts, prepared with special view to the needs of classes 
in LTnited States History. 

^ James Bradley Thayer, Select Cases in Constitutional Law, 
with Notes (2 vols., Cambridge, 1895), — The standard collec- 
tion of cases, almost indispensable for the "weekly papers" 
and available for later use in the Law School. Emlin McClain's 
one-volume collection to some degree serves the same purpose. 

In History 14 the essential books, besides the text-books, are 
as follows. They should cost about $8 : 

William Edward Hall, Liternational Zaiv (4th ed., Oxford, 
1895). — The best single-volume treatise, with many references 
to American precedent. 

John H. Latane, The Diplomatic Relations of the United 



22 MATERIALS [§§ 

States and Sj^anish America (Baltimore, 1900). — The best ac- 
count of that subject, with good footnotes. 

United States, Treaties and Con mentions concluded between the 
United /States and Other Poivers (Washington, 1889). 

Francis Wharton, A Digest of the International Law of the 
United States (3 vols., Washington, 1886). — Invaluable ex- 
tracts from official instructions, opinions, and dispatches ; can 
be picked up at second-hand for about $3 ; new edition in 
preparation by J. B. Mooj'e. 

Government 12. The books most used in the course, 
besides the text-books, are as follows. They should cost 
about $10: 

M. P. FoUet, The Speaker of the House of Representatives 
(N. Y., 1896). — The best study of the workings of Congres- 
sional government. 

Frank J. Goodnow, Comparative Administrative Law (2 
vols., N. y., 1893). — To a large degree a treatise on Ameri- 
can practical government, as established by court decisions; 
valuable on State and local government as well as national. 

B. A. Hinsdale, The American Government, National and 
State (rev. ed., Chicago, 1895). — A sane and comprehensive 
book, with special interest in actual precedent. 

Clara Hannah Kerr, The Origin and Develojivient of the 
United States Senate (Ithaca, 1895). 

Delos F.Wilcox, The Study of City Government : an Outline 
of the Problem of Municipal Functions, Control, and Organiza- 
tion (N. Y., 1897). — A statement in a single volume of the diffi- 
culties and solutions of municipal government. 

§ II. Special Collections in History. 
Every college student ought to be laying the foundations for 
his own library. In the field of American history, diplomacy, 



10,11] SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IN HlSTOltY 23 

and government there is a considerable literature of permanent 
interest and value. For purposes of study an excellent plan 
is for several students to join together, each contributing a 
share to a small collection which may be used by all in com- 
mon during their college course, dividing them at the end or 
presenting them to the College Library. 

In United States history three special bibliographies will aid 
in the intelligent purchase of books. 

Channing and Hart, Guide to the Study of American History 
(Boston, 18y6), §§ 15-39. — Has select lists of writers, without 
critical notes. 

Josephus N. Larned, The Literature of American History^ 
A Bibliographical Guide (N. Y., 1902). — A list of several 
thousand books on American history, each with a critical note

Part III 
LECTURES 

§ 14. Character of the Lectures. 

The historical lectures in History 13 are not intended to form 
a continuous narrative, or to present detailed statements of fact, 
except in cases where information in books is scanty or inac- 
cessible ; they are designed to show the relation between facts, 
to point out causes and effects, to set in relief the principal 
public men, and to develop principles. Every student will be 
expected to take his own notes, and to add to them from his 
reading. The lectures will be illustrated by special maps and 
charts. The lecturer will always welcome requests from stu- 
dents for a clearer statement of any point, or for the treatment 
of omitted subjects. The topics proposed to be taken up in 
each lecture may be seen below (IlandbooJc, § 19). 

In History 14 the lectures will form a closer and more 
specific body of material, but must be diligently supplemented 
by reading. For the list of lectures, see below (Handbook, 
§ 20). 

In Government 12 the lectures are indispensable to an 
understanding of the subject, since they are based upon 
materials little accessible in books, and contain much illustra- 
tion taken from the current practice of government in the 
United States. The lectures will be illustrated by maps and 
charts. A list of the topics treated will be found below {Hand- 
book, § 21).

[§§14-17] ATTENDANCE 31 

§ 15. Attendance. 

Since the lectures in both narrative and descriptive courses 
are intended to group facts and to show relations not brought 
out by single books, to make up an omitted lecture by reading 
outside is often impossible. Absence, therefore, beyond what 
might naturally be caused by sickness and other accidental 
reasons, creates a presumption that a student is not doing the 
work of the course. 

§ 16. Note-taking. 

Every student will find it to his advantage to take careful 
notes on the lectures, and on all authorities which he reads. 
The practice trains the mind to condense and to grasp ma- 
terials; and the note-book should cement the parts of the 
course together, and should receive additions from the read- 
ing. Methods and results in note-taking are considered in 
Channing and Hart, Guide, §§ 62, 63. Students are con- 
stantly advised to summarize their notes by headings and 
marginal catchwords, for the practice is very helpful for fix- 
ing principles in the mind. 

§ 17. Historical Geography. 

An essential part of the work in all the courses, particularly 
in the historical and diplomatic, will be a study of the histor- 
ical geography of the United States. This will include a 
sketch of the physical characteristics of the couutr}' and 
their influence on its history ; a general knowledge of the ter- 
ritorial growth of the United States ; the more important polit- 
ical subdivisions ; an understanding of the relations between 
the slaver}^ question and historical geography ; and a know- 
ledge of the geography of our dependencies. The data will be 
furnished in lectures, illustrated b}' maps. The things to be 
remembered are few and simple, but they are very important. 



32 LECTURES [§§ 

In History 13 the instructor usually reviews the geo- 
graphical questions in an extra lecture at the end of each 
half-year. 

In History 14 all the territorial negotiations, treaties, and 
controversies need geographical illustration. 

In Government 12 the geography is brought out particu- 
larly in the description of the elements of American govern- 
ment, and in the discussion of territorial, war, and foreign 
powers. 

The authorities on the historical geography of the United 
States are enumerated and described in Channing and Hart, 
Guide to the Study of American History, § 21. R. H. Lab- 
berton, Historical Atlas, contains some historical maps, not 
entirely accurate, which have been republished, with corrections 
and additions, in Townsend MacCoun, Historical Geography of 
the United States. The Epochs of American History contains 
a series of maps, which are gathered together and republished 
in A. B. Hart, Epoch Maps illustrating American History. 
B. A. Hinsdale, Hoia to Study and Teach History, has the 
best discussion of the relations of American geography to 
history. The best school text- books in American history — 
as Channing, Gordy, Johnston (MacDonald's ed.), McLaugh- 
lin, Mowry, Thomas — have good and abundant historical 
maps. 

§ i8. Personality. 

All history is the record of the activity of men, and neither 
narrative nor description is complete unless we can feel the 
personality of those who have most affected the course of 
events. Throughout all the courses, therefore, the attempt 
will be made to bring out the human side, to portray indi- 
viduality, to show the marvelous effect of leadership. 

In History 13 the great Americans will be taken up from 



17, 18] PERSONALITY 33 

time to time in connection witli the events and policies which 
best illustrate their character and services ; and suitable read- 
ings on this phase of the course are indicated in the list of 
lectures {Handbook, § 19). 

In History 14 the personal side is rather less evident; but 
the diplomats, American and foreign, who have most afifected. 
negotiations and treaties, and have done most to establish prin- 
ciples of international law, will be discussed as they come 
(Hcmdhook, § 20). 

In GovEKNMENT 12 the force of individuality is less marked, 
because we deal with general practice established by millions of 
separate individuals in localities, municipalities, and States; 
nevertheless, a few men who have set their mark on the theories 
and workings of our governments will be mentioned (Handbook, 
§ 21). 

For the characterization of public men tiie most convenient 
books are the various biographies; select list in Channing and 
Hart, Guide, § 25. The aids and collections for a study of 
biography are described below {Handbook, § 12'J). For a list 
of encyclopedias and biographical dictionaries, Channing and 
Hart, Guide, § 17. There are several series of handy col- 
lected biographies, of which the following is a list: 

Jared Sparks, editor, American Biographies (25 vols., Bos- 
ton, 1834-1848). — Written by Sparks and others under his 
editorship, often very well done. 

John T. Morse, Jr., editor, American Statesmen (31 vols, 
and index vol., Boston, Houghton, Mitilin & Co., 1898-1900). 
— All the volumes of this series, begun about 1880, have 
been recently revised, and a new edition issued; but the older 
editions are almost equally desirable. 

Beacon Biographies (25 vols, to 1901, Boston, Small, May- 
nard & Co., 1899-). — Brief and pungent biographies, espe- 
cially aimed to bring out character and public services,

§ ig. List of Lectures in History 13. Constitutional 
and Political History of the United States, 1781-1865. 

History 13 will hereafter cover the period from the end of 
the Revolution to the end of the Civil War. The first half- 
year will include the period 1781 to 1829; the second half- 
year will continue from 1829 to 1865. 

Whenever a statesman is mentioned in connection with a 
lecture, he is chosen as typifying the general topic of the 
lecture. 

In connection with the groups of lectures will be found sug- 
gestions for parallel readings ; and on most of the lectures a 
few special significant references appear. These readings do 
not include references to the text-books, acquaintance with 
which is taken for granted. The list also shows the relation 
of the weekly papers to the lectures. 

Exact titles of the books to which refereuce is made will be 
found elsewhere in the Handbook (use the index), or in the 
Guide (use the asterisks in the index). 

The abbreviated references in the List of Lectures are as 
follows : 

Contemjyoraries — Albert Bushuell Hart, American History 
told by Contemporaries (4 vols., N. Y., 1897-1901).

PARALLEL READINGS 

§ 22. Requirement of Reading. 

In all the courses it is assumed that the student is doing 
regular and systematic reading ; no one can expect in any 
other way to follow the lectures, to profit by the courses, or to 
pass the examinations. The careful reading of the text-books 
(Handbook, § 9) is obligatory, and considerable parts of the 
essential reference books (Handbook, § 10) will be necessary. 
Beyond, there is no requirement as to the manner in which the 
reading shall be done, and either of three ways will be accept- 
able : (1) The student may choose books at his discretion and 
read them according to his judgment (Handbook, § 23) ; (2) he 
may choose groups out of the "general readings " given in the 
Guide, § 56, and elsewhere (Handbook, § 24) ; (3) if he desire 
to keep more closely within the limits of the course, he may 
read one or more references under each topic as it is taken up 
in the lectures (Handbook, § 25). 

For the ordinary student it may be found most convenient 
to use the lists of general readings printed in the Guide, § 56. 
It must be understood that the system lacks the advantage 
gained by search in books to find passages useful for immediate 
purposes. Such reading must, therefore, be supplemented by 
other parts of the work which give distinct training in the 
selection of material, especially the weekly papers and the 
special reports. Many students have the commendable habit 
of keeping ahead of the lectures with their reading, so that 

110 



[§§ 22-24] REQUIREMENT OF READING 111 

they may have a basis of fact upon which to apply the lectures 
as they are delivered. But for the student who desires to 
keep a complete and consecutive abstract of his work it will 
probably be found most convenient to take notes on the 
lectures in a systematic form, leaving space to be filled in 
with an abstract from later collateral reading. 

The system of reading recommended by the instructor is a 
combination of the three methods described below : a few brief 
books should be read entire, — the text-books, considerable 
parts of the Contemporaries^ some of the American Statesmen 
series, and Edward Stauwood, History of the Presidency, will 
answer ; then the general readings may be used, and the student 
may go to special references in the Guide for important and 
difflcul points. 

§ 23. Consecutive Readings. 

For the students who are willing to give most time to the 
course, perhaps the best method of reading is simply to follow 
out the standard books which most interest them, reading 
one after another, and comparing them with each other and 
with the lectures. The books recommended in the special 
collections (Handbook, §§ 11-1.3) are the best for such a prin- 
ciple. The student should not fail to use contemporary narra- 
tives. In using this method, which will be most useful in 
Government 12, special attention should be given to the topics 
upon which the student finds himself most uncertain or ignorant 
when they are touched upon in the lectures. 

§ 24. General Readings. 

The difficulty of getting the certain use of a large number 
of books by considerable bodies of students is such that another 
method of keeping abreast of the courses has been devised, 
— that of '^ general readings." Several lectures are thrown 



112 PARALLEL READINGS [§§ 

together into a period, and for each period is arranged a series 
of groups of associated books. 

For History 13 special provision has been made for this 
kind of work, by the preparation, in the Guide, § 56, of a series 
of blocks of readings under each of the main topics of the 
course. Any one of these blocks is therefore sufficient on its 
topics, and the choice involves the use of a variety of books. 
Groups are roughly arranged in an order of preference, but 
there is very little difference in the value of the first half- 
dozen under each period. It will be well to use the books in 
the order in which they are printed in the groups, and so to 
choose them in successive periods as to bring into use a number 
of volumes. The system is adapted to the special collections 
{Handbook, §§ 11-13). At the head of each group of lectures 
in the list for History 13 {Handbook, § 19) will be found a few 
selected parallel readings. 

For History 14 no set of grouped readings has as yet been 
prepared, except in the List of Lectures {Handbook, § 20). 

For Government 12 readings can be made up from the 
chapter bibliographies in A. B. Hart, Actual Government, and 
from the parallel readings in the List of Lectures {Handbook^ 
§ 21). A different list of general readings in government was 
printed in A. B. Hart, Revised Suggestions, § 33. 

§ 25. Topical Readings. 

Many students prefer to read specific references on the 
topics which come up in the lectures. To this end for History 
13 there will be found arranged in the Guide, §§ 144-214, a 
series of topics, most of which will be taken up in the lectures, 
although many points will there be discussed which are not 
directly included in any of these topics. An excellent way of 
following the course is after each lecture to read up one or more 
of the references under each topic which has been discussed. 



24, 25] GENERAL AND TOPICAL 113 

The references in each section are loosely arranged in the 
order of preference, but all that are inserted have a value. 
The topical readings are most valuable to students who caa 
easily hold the thread of the narrative in their minds. A par- 
ticular advantage of the system is that it introduces the student 
to a large number of books. After many of the lectures in the 
list {Handbook^ § 19) will be found specific references. 

For History 14 some topical references have been provided 
in the List of Lectures (Handbook, § 20), and further sugges- 
tions as to helpful materials will be made in the lectures. 

P'or Government 12 topical references will be found in the 
List of Lectures {Handbook, § 21). 



Paet V 
WEEKLY PAPERS 

§ 26. Purpose of the Exercise. 

The weekly papers are brief written answers to questions 
put upou the board, the exercise to come in the last fifteen 
minutes of the lecture hour. In the list of lectures intended 
respectively for History 13 (Handbook, § 19), for History 14 
{Handbook, § 20), and for Government 12 (Handbook, § 21), 
will be found stated in each group of lectures some general 
subjects connected with those lectures. Upon these subjects 
students are expected to read, so as to be prepared to form 
and express in writing, an opinion with reference to some 
minor point which might arise under the general subject. 
Thus, under the question of the methods of annexing territory 
to the United States, the paper might ask for a discussion of 
the question whether Cuba could be annexed by joint resolu- 
tion without the consent of the Cuban government ; under the 
general question of the Jay treaty might fairly come a ques- 
tion whether Jay could have got a better treaty ; under the 
general subject of implied powers might be asked the question 
whether the United States could constitutionally charter a 
government university. 

The purpose of the system is, therefore, to train students in 
applying what they have already learned to the formation of a 
judgment on a specific question which they have never before 
considered. This is believed to be one of the most important 
parts of the courses ; and a student who, for any reason, fails 

lU 



[§§26,27] PURPOSE OF WEEKLY PAPERS 115 

to hand in or make up fourteen out of the fifteen papers re- 
quired in each half-year, may be considered not to have fur- 
nished the evidence that he is pursuing the course in a 
systematic manner. 

The general subjects under which questions are to be set 
in each course are enumerated in Handbook, §§ 32-123, and 
under each will be found some specimen questions, to show the 
scope and extent of the work. 

All the papers will be read and corrected by a competent 
critic (instructor or assistant), and returned to the writer with 
written criticisms. The returned papers will be found in the 
appointed boxes, commonly at the second exercise after they 
are written. Stated conference hours will he held, at which 
students may discuss their paper work. To facilitate the 
handling of the papers, students will be expected to write 
them on the uniform blanks, furnished to the classes. 



§ 27. Preparation for the Papers. 

Since the weekly papers are the part of the course which 
calls for most individual thought and judgment, students are 
usually interested to come to them with suitable prepara- 
tion. Two things are necessar}' in order to write a good 
paper: the student must carr}' in his mind the general principles 
which he has acquired up to that point of the course; and he 
must have read and thought intelligently on the subject under 
which the question is to be asked. For the latter purpose, a 
special set of references is provided on thirty general subjects 
in each of the three courses (Handbook, §§ 32-123). 

Particular stress is laid upon the "sources," and especially 
the "cases." The use of such material is excellent prelimi- 
nary practice in the work of the lawyer, legislator, and publicist ; 
and tlie judgments formed upon sources are more likely to be 



116 WEEKLY PAPERS [§§ 

original aud pertinent. The reading done by way of prepara- 
tion for the weekly papers will be found a valuable part of the 
general preparation for the courses. 

On some questions the references to the History 13 ques- 
tions (Handbook, §§ 32-61) will be found serviceable in ques- 
tions on government, and vice versa. 



§ 28. Special Directions for the ^A^eekly Papers in 
History 13. 

Papers will regularly be called for in the last fifteen minutes 
of the Saturday exercise. Occasionally a paper will be post- 
poned, and two papers called for at the next Saturday exercise ; 
in that case they will take the place of the lecture. The ques- 
tions, several in number, so as to allow an option, will be dis- 
tributed in print. 

It will be noticed that the topics included in the list do not 
cover the whole field of constitutional law or government; 
they are selected on account of their connection with the nar- 
rative lectures and history. For instance, the paper on implied 
powers will come into the course just after an account of the 
creation of the first United States Bank; and the paper on 
secession after a discussion of the crisis of 1860-1861. 

In answering the constitutional questions students are allowed 
to have before them the text of the Constitution, aud they are 
expected to refer to all the clauses of the Constitution which 
seem to them applicable to the specific question which they 
are discussing. For this purpose the text of the Constitu- 
tion in the American JTistory Leaflets, No. 8, will be found 
couvenient. They are expected, also, to apply whatever 
general principles they may have acquired in the course, 
as to the powers and limitations of the national and State 
governments. 



27-31] SPECIAL DIRECTIONS 117 

§ 29. Special Directions for the Weekly Papers in 
History 14. 

In this advanced course attention can be given not only to 
questions of the application of international law, but also to 
questions relating to negotiations, and to some disputed points 
and issues. Saturday wiU be the normal paper day. 

§ 30. Special Directions for the Weekly Papers in 
Government 12. 

As the course is not one in constitutional law, but in the 
practice of government, the subjects for weekly papers will 
commonly be discussions of political and governmental 
methods. Saturday will be the regular paper day. 



§ 31. Materials for Weekly Papers in History 13. 

Thorough, intelligent, and systematic reading is necessary 
for success in the papers. To this end have been provided the 
sets of references on each of the thirty questions printed in 
Handbook, §§ 32-61. In History 13 about one-fourth of the 
weekly papers are on other than constitutional questions ; and 
for such papers reference is made chiefly to the usual secondary 
books, and to easily accessible sources. 

Most of the books will be found in the "Government" 
alcove in the Reading Room of the Library ; or in the " History 
IS " reserved library ; some of them in the Evans Library. 
Throughout the list below, the best books are marked with an 
asterisk (*). In preparing for the papers it is always well to 
read two contrasting views on contested questions. 

For the constitutional subjects more elaborate classified 
references will be provided. There are two points of view for 
every question of statecraft in United States history : first, the 
circumstances which surrounded and influenced an event; 



118 WEEKLY PAPERS [§§ 

second, the underlying principles of government involved. 
Hence there are two groups of authorities of about equal 
importance, — the narrative history and the treatise. 

§ 31a. List of Historical Discussions. 

In History 13 the historical discussions serve as a connection 
between the narrative part of the course and the constitutional 
questions, especially those included in the weekly papers ; but 
such discussions need to be supplemented by study of the 
sources, in particular of cases. 

Lists of the principal secondary works on United States 
history will be found in the Guide, §§ 20, 25 ; another list of 
works on American history in Theodore Clarke Smith, General 
Index to the American Statesmen Series. The following authors 
are the most significant for their discussion of constitutional 
questions. They may all be found in the reserved books in 
United States history, and many of them are also in the Evans 
Library.

§ 31C. Reports of Judicial Cases. 

On all constitutional questions the most authoritative utter- 
ance is always the decisions of the courts, and especially of 
the Supreme Court of the United States. These decisions are 
printed in eight groups of publications, to be found in the 
Harvard Law Library, the State Library, and many other 
legal libraries. The official United States Supreme Court 
Reports and the collections of select cases are also reserved in 
the Reading Room of the Harvard College Library. 



124 WEEKLY PAPERS [§ 

(1) Official Rkports of the Supreme Court of the United 

States. 

These official reports embody the most important material 
for forming a judgment on the nature of our government, the 
division of powers between nation and State, and the distribu- 
tion of powers among the departments of government. They 
are published in several forms: (1) a series of consecutive 
reports, indicated down to 1882 by the name of the reporter 
(Dallas to Otto), since 1882 (1875) under the title United States 
Reports ; (2) in condensed reports compiled by various authors 
(Peters to Miller); (3) since 1882 in a series issued by the 
West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minn. Any particular 
case included \n the reports of the United States Supreme 
Court, District, Circuit, or Circuit Court of Appeals, and any 
case from other national courts or State courts, so far as 
included in the publications of the West Company, may be 
ordered by the name of the case {e.g.. Ware r. Hylton) by 
forwarding twenty-five cents. In the lists of reports, the 
abbreviations are in the usual form of citations.

(3) Official Reports of Inferior Judicial Courts. 

No official reports of the district or circuit courts have been 
published, nor any systematic private reports till recently. 
The Court of Claims is included in Handbook, § 31d, among 
the administrative tribunals. When the new Circuit Courts of 
Appeals were established in 1891, an official series was estab- 
lished which continued till 1899 as follows: 
"U. S. App." [1891-1899] United States Courts of Appeals 
Reports : Cases adjudged in the United States Circuit 
Courts of Appeals (63 vols., N. Y., 1893-1899). 

(4) Unofficial Reports of Inferior Judicial Courts. 

The lacuna? in the official sources have been very efficiently 
filled by three systematic publications, which include all the 
decisions from district, circuit, and circuit appeals courts. 
There are similar publications of State cases arranged in geo- 
graphical groups. 

" Fed. Cas." [1789-1880] The Federal Cases : Comprising Cases 
argued and determined in the Circuit and District 
Courts of the United States from the Earliest Times

§ 3id. Historical Sources. 

For the narrative questions, and often for the constitutional, 
recourse must be had to contemporary discussions and argu-

may be found in Chauning and Hart, Guide to the Study of 
American History, §§ 27-35 ; in the introduction to each of the 
four volumes of American History told by Contemporaries ; 
and in New England History Teachers' Association, Historical 
Sources in Schools. Among the most important sources are the 
Journals of Congress ; records of debates ; works of public men 
containing pnblic speeches and state papers ; autobiographies 
and reminiscences ; President's messages ; statutes and treaties 
of the United States ; elaborate biographies containing docu-

§ 62. Materials for the Weekly Papers in History 14. 

Use freely the cross references to the Handbook, and other 
bibliographical references at the head of each paper (Hand- 
book, §§ 63-92). A bibliography of American diplomacy will 
be found in A. B. Hart, Foundations of American Foreign 
Policy, ch. viii (analysis at page x of the Contents). This list 
includes bibliographical aids, secondary works, and sources. 

The general works which will be of most service are enumer- 
ated in Foundations, §§ 78^1, 78i?, and in Handbook, §§ 9, 12, 
31cZ. Many of the biographies of diplomats will also be ser- 
viceable : see Foundations, § 79i^; Guide, § 32. Books on 
special topics will be found in Foundations, §§ 78^4, 78Z>. 
Critical estimates of the value of the principal secondary books 
in American history are printed in J. N. Larned, Literature of 
American History, a Bibliographical Guide. 

Many periodical articles are mentioned in the references for 
papers in diplomacy (Handbook, §§ 63-92), and in the list of 
diplomatic lectures (Handbook, § 20); other articles may be 
reached through the invaluable Index to Legal Periodical Liter- 
ature (2 vols.), by L. A. Jones, which refers to many sets not 
strictly legal in character. Special essays and scattered dis- 
cussions, if gathered into book form, can be reached through 
W. I. Fletcher, '' ^1. L. A." Lidex to General Literature 
(2d ed.).

§ 93. Materials for the Weekly Papers in Govern- 
ment 12. 

The bibliography of American government has not yet been 
worked into convenient form : a few aids are listed in Hand- 
book., § 13. Titles of the books most suitable for Government 
12 are printed in the lists of Text-books, Essential Reference 
Books, and Special Collections in Government {Handbook., §§ 
9, 10, 13); in the specific references inserted in the list of 
lectures in Government {Handbook, § 21) ; and in the refer- 
ences to thirty selected topics in Government {Handbook., ^ 
94-123). Use freely the cross references to the Handbook at 
the head of each paper. 

The secondary l)ooks are not very numerous, and most of 
the useful titles are included in some of the sections of the 
Handbook just cited (§§ 9, 10, 13, 21, 94-123). Treatises on 
American Constitutional Law (select list in Handbook., § 316), 



92-94] GROWTH OF URBAN POPULATION 223 

treatises on American goverumeiit, and treatises on interna- 
tional law {Foimdations, § 78 C) touch on many governmental 
relations. 

Much of the available material on government appears in 
periodicals: the best for our purpose a.re Municijxd Affairs; 
Political Science Quarterly ; Yale Review ; American His- 
torical Reoiew / Quarterly Journal of Economics ; Quarterly 
Journal of Political Ecoiwmy / Atlantic Monthly ; Forum ; 
North American Revievi ; Nation : also the publications of the 
American Historical Association, American Academy of Polit- 
ical and Social Science, and American Economic Association. 
These sets and others can be reached — so far as they contain 
material on public law and public science — through A. L. 
Jones, Judex to Legid Periodical Literature (2 vols.). Col- 
lected essays (often very useful and very hard to locate pre- 
vious to Fletcher's second edition) are carefully catalogued in 
W. 1. Fletcher, " A. L. A.'' Index to General Literature (2d 
ed., 1901). 

On source materials on government there is as yet no proper 
guide; the lists of lectures {Handbook, § 21) and the special 
references below {IJandbouk\ §§ 9-4-123) attempt some guidance 
to first-hand materials. Reports of judicial cases — often deter- 
mining questions of national, State, or local government — are 
enumerated in Handbook, § 31c.

SPECIAL REPORTS 

§ 124. Purpose of the Exercise. 

In courses in which there is a great demand upon the libra- 
ries, it is not feasible to require all students to delve for them- 
selves in a large collection of primary books, as a preparation 
for the lectures. This necessai'y part of the historical training 
is therefore to be sought in the special reports. In preparing 
thera, students are expected to find out for themselves things 
not stated in any of the general authorities. The system will 
introduce them to the most serviceable authors ; it will make 
them familiar with the sources of information on American 
history ; it is intended to develop their powers of analysis and 
statement, and to interest them in the unsettled questions of 
our history. 

To each student, from time to time, will therefore be 
assigned a very limited special topic, on which he is expected 
to make a condensed report, based upon original authorities, 
and supported also by use of the best secondary discussions. 
The result ordinarily need not be stated in literary form, but 
may be more like a brief ; in all cases, however, students must 
give exact reference to the authorities used on all significant 
points. The work of preparation is to be done under the 
personal direction, and to the satisfaction, of an assistant 
specially assigned for the purpose, acting under the instructor's 

guidance. 

^ 249 



250 SPECIAL REPORTS,, [§§ 

In the special directions below will be found suggestions for 
reports on the foUowiug subjects: bibliography (§§ 129, 130), 
constitutional questions (§§ 131, 132), slavery questions (§§ 133, 
134), pre-coustitutioual diplomacy (§ 136), Federal diplomacy 
(§ 137), and on various topics in government (§§ 139-153). 

In assigning reports particular pains will be taken to see that 
no two students in a course have the same subjects; and so far 
as possible topics will be chosen which have not been worked 
out in published books or articles. There are many interesting 
points in American history and government which have never 
been examined by any scholar, and there is, therefore, an 
opportunity for some distinctly original work. 

In assigning reports, as much attention as possible will be 
paid to the preference of the student, as indicated in his appli- 
cation on entering the course. But if any student finds in the 
lists printed V)elow, or elsewhere, a particular subject which he 
wishes to have assigned to him, he may hand in a written re- 
quest to that effect. It is impossible to assign subjects all of 
which will prove of equal difficulty and importance, and some- 
times the question set may prove barren ; in such cases a reas- 
signment will be made. 

§ 125. Constitutional and Political Reports, in His- 
tory 13. 

In the course in United States history (History 13) three 
reports will be required from each student, two in the first half- 
year and one in the second half-year. 

The topics will be given out at least a month before reports 
are due. It is expected that students will put upon the special 
report work from one-third to one-quarter of the whole time 
spent upon the course; and no student will receive a pass 
mark in the course who has not gained at least a passing grade 
on this part of the work. 



124-1 20] CONSTITUTIONAL AND POLITICAL 251 

The work of preparing the reports must invariably be done in 
consultation with the assistant on reports, and no reports will 
be received without evidence tiiat at least three conferences 
have been held with the assistant. 

Unless a previous arrangement has been made with the 
instructor or assistant, no overdue reports will be received, 
except with the Recorder's stamp, showing that the delay is 
excused at the college office. 

The subjects will be as follows: 

Rept. No. 1. Due Nouemher 15. The bibliography of a pub- 
lic man {Randhooh, §§ 129-130^»). 
November 1. Last day for first conference. 
November 8. Last day for second conference. 
November 15. Last day for receiving completed 
reports. 

Rept. No. 2. Due January 15. A constitutional inquir}^ 
{Handbook, §§ LSI, 132^). 
January 3. Last day for first conference. 
January 8. Last day for second conference. 
January 15. Last day for receiving completed 
reports. 

Rept. No. 3. Due April 15. A discussion of slavery {Hand- 
book, §§ 133, 134). 

April 1. Last day for first conference. 
April 8. Last day for second conference. 
April 15. Last day for receiving completed re- 
ports. 

§ 126. Diplomatic Reports, in History 14. 

The materials in diplomacy are not so abundant nor so sys- 
tematized as in history or government, and the course presup- 
poses that the students have had training in the use of books 



252 SPECIAL REPORTS [§§ 

and the preparation of written work. Only two reports will 
therefore be required, one in each half-year. The subjects are 
broader and more various than in History 13, and more nearly 
approach the thesis in character. The instructor will be glad 
to help students, in Iiis conference hours, on this side of their 
work. The topics will be as follows : 

1. Due Fehrwiry 15. Some phase of pre-constitutional di- 

plomacy {Handbook., § 136). 

2. Due June 15. Some phase of diplomacy in the Federal 

period {Haiulbook., § 137). 

§ 127. Government Reports, in Government 12. 

In the course on government (Government 12), the special 
reports constitute a considerable part of the year's work ; they 
are designed to open up various ranges of materials and doc- 
trine, and hence eight special reports will be called for, four in 
each half-year. As the students are advanced and the topics 
numerous and very directly related to the subject matter of 
the course, it is expected that great attention will be paid to 
the special reports; but students are warned against trying to 
write elaborate and exhaustive theses upon these subjects. 
The topics will be as follows : 

1. Due Norember 15. Some phase of American political 

methods {Handbook, §§ 139-142). 

2. Due Deceinber 15. The actual workings of some part of 

the State government {Handbook., § 143). 

3. Due January 15. The actual workings of some part of 

the local government {Handbook, § 144). 

4. Due February 15. The actual workings of some part of 

the national government {Handbook, §§ 145-147). 

5. Due March. 15. The actual w'orkings of some territorial 

function {Handbook, § 148). 



126-12S] DIPLOMACY AND GOVERNMENT 253 

6. Due Ajyril 15. The actual workings of some financial 

function {Hcmdbook, § 149). 

7. Due May 15. Some phase of the workings of the com- 

mercial system {Handbook^ § 150). 

8. Due Jioie 15. Some phase of the workings of the war 

power, foreign power, or police powers i^Handhook^ 
§§ 151-153). 

§ 128. General Directions for Special Reports in His- 
tory 13. 

For the convenience of the instructor in handling the reports, 
and for the training of students in methodical habits of work, 
and in order to accustom them to arrange their material for 
others' use, the following general directions will be found im- 
portant. Students will be held responsible for following them 
out carefully. Particular directions and suggestions for each 
report will be found below : 

Assignment. So far as possible, the preference of the student 
for a particular line of investigation will be consulted ; for this 
purpose students are required when they enter any of the 
courses to fill out a blank form with an account of their previ- 
ous study and a list of preferred topics. Any student may 
take up a new subject, by the consent of the assistant, — 
record to be made of every such change. 

Authorities. Abundant information as to bibliographies 
and other aids may be found in other parts of the Handbook; 
and in Channing and Hart, Guide. Students will also be held 
responsible for such information as may be had from the fol- 
lowing collections : 

(a) The card catalogue in the Delivery Room of the Harvard 
College Library. 

(h) The bibliographies, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, and other 
aids in the Reading Room of the Library. 



254 SPECIAL REPORTS [§ 

(c) The reserved books in Colonial and United States history, 
or international law and diplomatic history, or government, all 
in the Reading Room. The usual arrangement of the books is 
alphabetically by authors. 

(d) Congressional documents and other official material in 
the Reading Room. 

(e) Such special authorities as may be found to be of special 
service, especially sources. 

Note that the Evans Reference Library in United States his- 
tory in Harvard 2 contains many of the standard reading books. 

Assistance. It is a principle of the whole work that the 
actual search for the books must be done by students them- 
selves. No other assistance or guidance will be expected in 
this exercise except from the instructor and regularly appointed 
assistant. Whenever, after a faithful attempt, students are 
not able to bring to light sufficient information on their subject, 
or meet contradictions or difficulties which they do not know 
how to explain, they are expected to apply to the assistant. 
The library officials should not be asked to furnish material, or 
to show students how to use catalogues and other aids ; the 
assistant will cheerfully give such aid to those who need it. 
It is not desired that a student should be discouraged at the 
outset for want of guidance ; nor that he should avoid the 
lesson which the exercise is meant to teach — the independent 
use of books and aids. 

Conference. All students are required to report to the as- 
sistant at least three times. 

(1) When they begin vjork iipon their topic^ so as to be 
sure that they understand what is expected of them. 

(2) At least once during the progress of their work, so that 
the assistant may know that they are on a right road. 

(3) In order to submit their notes or completed report for 
the assistant's approval before handing in the report. 



128] GENERAL DIRECTIONS 255 

These requirements are absolute ; no report will he credited 
to a student unless it bear the assistant's minute of three 
conferences. 

Methods. As one of the principal objects of the special 
report work is to train students in acquiring information on 
any subject, with the greatest economy of time and the great- 
est clearness of result, every student is urged to think out a 
method for himself. A very convenient way is to take notes 
on loose sheets, each piece of paper being devoted to some 
branch of the general subject; the information gained from 
different books is thus assembled in a classified form, and when 
the sheets are arranged, the material for the condensed report 
is brought together in logical order. In all cases, exact refer- 
ences to volume and page m,iist support all important state- 
ments ; in giving authorities the author's name should precede 
the title of the book. No reports will be accepted in which 
references are lacking or indefinite. Except in the biblio- 
graphical report (§ 129) every reference must be to a book 
or passage which the student has seen himself ; and if there 
are serious discrepancies between authorities, they should be 
pointed out. The effort will be made to assign only topics on 
wliich there is positive information ; but if a diligent search in 
the proper books brings little to light, the work will be as read- 
ily accepted as though more had been found. 

Form of the Repokt. All the reports are to be handed in 
on the uniform sheets with printed headings, on which topics 
are handed out. Do not fold the papers. The amount of time 
spent should be noted. Dates should be entered in the narrow 
outside column ; subject matter only in the broad middle 
column ; references in the inner column, next to the folding in 
the sheet. On the back of the page the text should still come 
into the middle column. Additional sheets should be of the 
same size and ruling, and should be attached by mucilage or 



256 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REPORTS [§§ 

sewing, not hy fasteners or pins. Since one of the objects of 
the exercise is to teach conciseness, the length of the report 
should be kept within limits. 

Arrangement. The matter should be logically arranged, 
point by point, the heads indicated by catch-words in the date 
column, or by underlining. Students are warned against try- 
ing to write theses instead of brief reports. Special notice 
will be taken of neatness of arrangement, precision of the 
references, and uniformity of abbreviations and classificatioii 
in different parts of the same piece. Wherever the sub- 
ject admits of such a method, students should analyze and 
classify their results, so as to show the subordination of the 
topic and the progress of the thought. On application to the 
assistant the searcher may see a former report on a similar 
subject, which will show him how others have done their work. 

The Return of the Report. Ten hours of faithful work 
in each report is about the minimum ; if no satisfactory result 
is then reached, the notes may be shown the assistant and his 
approval asked, or a new subject tried. In any case credit 
cannot be given for reports unless handed in to the assistant 
on the day appointed, unless they bear the stamp of the Re- 
corder of the college. 

§ 129. Bibliographical Special Reports (see Handbook^ 

§§ 7, 8). 

Object. The first report is intended to teach students how 
to find books and articles, how to cite references, and how to 
arrange results. 

Scope. To each student is assigned some person connected 
with the history of the United States. The report is to be a 
list of the printed books, pamphlets, and magazine articles 
bearing on that person, with a very brief statement of the 
public services which make him worthy of remembrance. No 
list of loorks by the person is desired. 



128, 129] DIRECTIONS 257 

Authorities. Students will be held responsible for all titles 
which can be obtained through the following authorities : 

{a) The bibliographical aids used in the course, especially 
Handbook, §§ 11, 18, 19, 20; Guide, §§ IG, 20, 25, 32, 33, 34, 

{b) The card catalogue in the Delivery Room of the Harvard 
College Library. 

(c) The encyclopaedias and biographical dictionaries in the 
Reading Room of the Library. 

(d) The bibliographical helps and library catalogues in the 
Reading Room of the Library, including F. Leypoldt, Ameri- 
can Catalogue. 

(e) Indexes to periodicals, to be found in the Reading 
Room, especially W. F. Poole, Index to Periodicals, and 
Supplements; W. I. Fletcher, xl. L. A. Index ; L. A.Jones, 
Index to Legal Periodiccds. 

(/) Bibliographies of books relating to the person, in biogra- 
phies, encyclopt^dias, biographical dictionaries, or histories. 

(g) Accounts in collections of biographies, so far as con- 
veniently accessible. 

(h) Accounts reached through the footnotes to detailed 
biographies or histories. 

Selection. Only those books are to be enumerated in which 
the whole, or a distinct or specific part, a chapter, section 
or article, however short, is devoted to the person. Thus, 
under Washington, it will not be necessary to enter scattered 
references from books primarily on the Revolution, or on the 
United States, or on Virginia ; but titles ought to be found in 
a collection of Lires of the Presideiits, or of Great American 
Generals, or Essai/s on Members of the Federal Concention. 
Hence it is necessary to know what public station the person 
has filled. Since, however, in many cases the books, articles, 
and sections devoted wholly to one man are very few, the 
student who has only a scanty lot, after exhausting the biblio- 



258 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REPORTS [§§ 

graphical aids, may then add extracts from general histories 
and biographies, not less than one page in lengthy wholly given 
up to the man. 

Methods. The most convenient method is to go through 
the bibliographical aids, setting down each promising title on 
a slip or card, and keeping them arranged alphabetically ; then 
to arrange in some logical order and write out consecutively. 
Students are not expected to call for a long list of books from 
the Library simply to verify titles. 

Verification. Students are expected to verify for them- 
selves the titles of all books accessible in the open part of the 
Harvard College Library. Insert the Library number of all 
books. The instructor will be very glad to have students 
search out books not in Cambridge, but to be found in the 
Boston Atheuffium, Boston Public Library, or other Boston 
libraries. The precise form of the title of books, if published 
before 1870, may usually be found for authors from A to S in 
J. Sabin, Bibliothcca, Americana ; if in print in 1876 or since 
that time, in F. Leypoldt, American Catalogue, 

Form ov Report. Titles should be arranged in each s'ection 
alphabetically by authors. References and abbreviations should 
be punctuated systematically. In order that the title be suffi- 
ciently full to identify the book, the place of publication and 
date should always be given, and the number of pages and 
size of the book when those particulars are found. All refer- 
ences to parts of books must show the precise volume andjyage. 

§ 130. Bibliographical Subjects. 

The list of public men below includes most of the names on 
which reports have already been prepared in History 13, and 
many others. 

In making up the assignments the most distinguished men 
have to be omitted, because experience shows that the material 



129- 1. -30:1] 



LIST OF PUBLIC MEN 



259 



is so large that a disproportionate amount of work must be 
spent upon them. On the other hand, it is important to clioose 
persons who are not so insignificant that notliiug has been 
written about them. 

§ 130a. Alphabetical List of Public Men. 

About five liundred and ten names appear in the list in this 
section. Of these most were famous in the Revolutionary and 
later history of the United States ; a few in the period of dis- 
covery or in the colonial period. After each name appears the 
person's highest office or most characteristic calling.

§ 131. Constitutional Special Reports. 

Object. This report is intended, like the weekly papers 
{Handbook, § 26), to train students in applying to specific 
cases the general principles of the Constitution ; but instead of 
undertaking to give an opinion off-hand and without the use of 
books, they will be expected to bring to bear upon their ques- 
tion all the authorities which they can command. 

Scope. Each topic will be a simple question in constitu- 
tional law, and, so far as possible, a very detailed question. 



274 CONSTITUTIONAL REPORTS [§§ 

The report is to be a brief statement of the conclusions which 
the student has reached, with tlie reasons for those conclusions ; 
but in the report it is expected that objections to the position 
taken will be stated and discussed, and the reasons for setting 
them aside will be made apparent. Students are cautioned 
against making these reports vague, and especially against 
copying opinions of jurists or statesmen without showing how 
they affect the results. A series of bald extrads from, or ab- 
stracts of authorities is not considered a report. It is expected 
that the subject Avill be logically developed in analyzed heads, 
each worked out in arguments backed up by references to the 
authorities upon which the opinion is based; and brief quota- 
tions may well be introduced to show the character of the 
evidence. Special notice will be taken of a systematic analysis 
of the subject and a neat form of statement, in which the 
main heads of the argument are clearly stated. 

AuTHOKiTiiis. Bibliographies of the Constitution will be 
found in Handbook, §§ 19, 21c, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37-61, 95- 
123, 138; Justin Winsor, Narrative and Critical History, VII, 
255-266 ; W. E. Foster, References to the Constitution ; A. B. 
Hart, Federal Government, §§ 38, 469, and Actual Government; 
J. (t. Barnwell, Reading Notes to the Constitution. Use also the 
bil)Iiographical introductions or footnotes to the best books on 
constitutional history and constitutional law (Handbook, §§ 31a, 
31b). 

Students will be expected to refer to any parts of the Con- 
stitution bearing upon their subject, to study the constitutional 
treatises, to examine acts of Congress and other evidences of 
the practice of the government with reference to their subject, 
and to make use of Supreme Court Reports and other re- 
positories of ofHcial legal opinions {Handbook, § 31c). 

The principal authorities on constitutional law will be found 
in the alcove containing books on government. Duplicates of 



131, 132] DIRECTIONS 275 

many of these books will be found in the Evans Library, and 
in any good public or private law library. The footnotes to 
these treatises should lead to other commentaries, and especially 
to decisions of the United .States Supreme Court and other 
courts. Some of the treatises are enumerated in Handbook, 
§ 32^, and lists of legal reports of cases and aids to the study 
of constitutional questions will be found in Handbook, § 32c. 

Conference. In addition to the conference hours of the 
assistant, the instructor may himself be consulted at hours to 
be hereafter announced. 

Method. The easiest and most complete way of handling 
the subject is to take notes upon loose sheets, appropriating 
one for each branch of the subject as it is developed. The 
student may then go through all the authorities, searching 
simply for discussions which may seem to him to bear upon 
the point, and taking his references, point by point. He will 
then have a body of classified references, and may go back to 
those which he has marked as being most helpful. By com- 
paring the various authorities thus collected in each sub- 
division of the subject seriatim, he will be able to come to a 
decision for himself. 

§ 132. Subjects for Constitutional Special Reports. 

Out of this list of about 1.000 subjects for investigation in con- 
stitutional subjects, many are discussed at more or less length 
by the treatise writers, or in special monographs. References 
at the section heads will lead to some of the special materials. 
In general the topics are very limited, so that the available 
materials can be exhausted. Of the following subjects a 
large number have been tested and give opportunity for proper 
discussion. Students may arrange for a change of subject 
if it seems hard to find suitable evidence. In Handbook, §§ 
139-153, will be found lists of questions in practical govern-

ment, many of which might also be used for constitutional 
reports. 



§ 132a. Genesis and Nature of the Union (see Hand- 
book, §§ 19a-19c, 21a, 21c, 33-38, 99, 141a). 

Revolution. 

1. Was Massachusetts ever sovereign and independent? 

2. Has any State existed without being a State in the 
Union ? 

3. Was the issue of Continental paper notes really a legal 
tender ?

§ 135. General Directions for Special Reports in 
History 14. 

The smaller size of the class and the presumable experience 
of the students in written work make unnecessary many of 
the fixed rules required for like work in the narrative course. 
Students are expected to travel their own road, though the 
instructor will always be ready in his conference hours to give 
advice and assistance. 

Assignment. From the list of lectures (Havclbook, § 20), 
from the list of subjects for special reports (Handbook, §§ 136, 
137), and from theirprevious knowledge of such studies, students 
may select or suggest subjects ; and they are invited to make 
their preferences known. Some of the subjects call for simple 
narrative treatment; but nearly all involve some contested or 
doubtful question which students are expected to elucidate. 

Authorities. The bibliographical guide for the course is 
Foundations of American Foreign Poiicj/, ch. viii, which is 
a classified list with brief comments. At the desk of tiie Read- 
ing Room of the Library will be found a copy of this bibliogra- 
phy, with librai\v numbers in the margin. Other bibliographical 
aids are enumerated in Foundations, § 77 ; and in Handbook, 
§ 12. Some classified references will be found in the list of 
lectures (Handbook, § 20), and in the materials for weekly 
papers (Handbook, §§ 62-92). Besides the Harvard College 
Library other near-by collections will be found serviceable by 



376 DIPLOMATIC REPORTS [§§ 

investigators (see Handbook, § 8). The Harvard Law School 
Library' is rich in treatises, collectious of cases, statutes, etc. 
The Boston Athenajum has a special fund for books on inter- 
national law and diplomacy. The Boston Public Library has 
a vast genei'al collection. On many of the subjects the Con- 
gressional Documents will be necessarj'. (See Guide, § 30; 
Foundations, § l{)b.) 

Methods. No fixed system for collecting materials, deciding 
on conclusions, and stating the results can be recommended. 
In the Guide, § 12, are some suggestions on the subject. The 
main thing must always be to take notes on separate slips of 
paper or cards or sheets, which may be classified and brought 
together in new combinations. Care should also be taken to 
note specific references, and to insert in the report such as are 
most to the point. Brief quotations are often very helpful. 
Compare the Directions for Reports in History 13 {Handbook, 
§ 128). Students may at any time examine reports prepared in 
previous years, so as to see how other people have reached and 
recorded their results under like circumstances. 

§ 136. Special Reports in Pre-Constitutional Diplo- 
macy. 

In the first half-year the class will be at work on the founda- 
tion building of American diplomacy, and the reports will 
correspond. The elaborate secondary works, the older sets of 
creaties, the Revolutionary and Confederation correspondence, 
will be found especially serviceable (Handbook, § 135). The 
following is a list of a few possible subjects, on some of which 
reports have been prepared by students in this course in former 
years.

§ 138. General Directions for Special Reports in 
Government 12. 

Since in this graduate course in government students are ex- 
pected alread}'^ to have acquired methods of research and abil- 
ity to state results clearly, the reports will lead to an intimate 
knowledge of the sources and will give practice in investigating 
the actual working of institutions. 

Assignment. The whole set of eight reports will be assigned 
to each student at the beginning of the year, and will, in 
many cases, have a relation with each other. The student's 
own interests and opportunities for inside knowledge of parts 
of the American system of government will receive special at- 
tention ; and whenever possible reports will be assigned which 



384 GOVERNMENT REPORTS [§§ 

will lead a student to make use of personal investigation into 
public affairs. 

Authorities. The reserved books on government are first 
to be exhausted. After that, students are expected to draw 
from available libraries, and to supplement their work, wher- 
ever it is necessary, by correspondence and personal inquiry. 

The bibliographical aid which corresponds most closely in 
plan with this course is Actual Government^ which contains a 
general bibliography and classified special bibliographies ; W. 
E. Foster, References on the Constitution^ is useful ; and foot- 
notes to the treatises on constitutional law and government 
will be helpful. For general suggestions, Handbook^ §§ 13, 21, 
93, 127, 128, 139-153. 

Form. It is always desirable to put the references in a 
column parallel with the text of the report, and to set off the 
dates in a separate column. Students are not expected to write 
elaborate theses. 

Return of the Report. In order to keep the work up, it 
is essential that reports be handed in promptly, at the time in- 
dicated in Handbooh, § 127. In the case of mature graduate 
students, who wish to have control of their time so as to do 
their work in long stretches, special arrangements may be made 
with the instructor. 

§ 139. Special Reports on Political Theory. 

Object. These reports are intended to lead students to the 
sources in the study of political doctrines, and to state the 
result in analytical form. 

Scope. Each assignment will be a political principle upon 
which the opinions of a designated body of writers are to be 
gathered and clearly set forth, with suitable extracts and 
references. 

Care should be taken to refer to exact editions where a book 
has been several times revised or edited.

EXAMINATIONS 

§ 154. Purposes and Methods of Examinations. 

In courses in which there is abundant written work, exam- 
inations are necessary not so much to test the faithfulness of 
students as to find out how far they are able to apply what 
they have learned, without referring again to books. The 
examinations also test the ability of the student to select the 
most important things in the lectures and in his reading, and 
to remember them when called upon. 

There will be no regular hour examinations in any of the 
courses. 

The mid-year examination in History 13 will be set so 
as to test the parallel reading of the student. In History 
14 it will cover the whole half-year's work. In Government 
12 it will cover the whole half-year's work. The final ex- 
amination in History 13 will test the cumulative knowledge 
of the whole year, though dwelling less on the details of 
the first half-year's work. In History 14 and Government 
12 the examinations will cover only the ground of the second 
half-year's work, except in so far as questions have arisen 
in the course since the mid-years which require reference to 
earlier work. There will be geographical questions in all 
papers, both narrative and descriptive {Handbook, § 17). 

Special notice will be taken of ability in examination books 
to show the relation and connection between facts which have 
not been linked together in the courses. Perhaps the best 
method to prepare for an examination, after due reading, is 

436 



[§154] METHODS OF EXAMINATION 437 

to discuss the principal questions of the course with fellow- 
students. 

A set of specimen papers follows (§§ 155-160). 

For the examination room the following suggestions may be 
found useful : 

1. Come into the examination fresh and able to think clearly. 

2. Eead the paper through before beginning to write, and 
decide which of the alternative questions 3'ou will choose, if 
such are offered. 

3. If you are doubtful of the meaning of a question, apply 
to the instructor in charge, 

4. Wx'ite legibly; ink is much preferred. 

5. Write in a straightforward narrative style; make your 
meaning clear. 

6. Arrange and paragraph your work neatly and systemat- 
ically. 

7. Indicate subdivisions of logical argument in such a way 
as readily to catch the eye. 

8. Full answers to a part of the questions may be better 
than insufficent answers to the whole. 

9. Less stress will be laid on dates and details than on an 
ability to distinguish the significant points in the work gone 
over, and to understand their relations ; a good general com- 
prehension can, however, be based only on a previous study of 
details. 

10. Have an opinion of your own, and express it. If it 
differs materially from the views taken in the lectures, be able 
to state the grounds for dissent, but stand to it. 

11. After working an hour, rest four or five minutes; and 
do the same at the end of the second hour. 

12. Just before the examination books are called in, take 
time to revise and correct what you have written, even though 
you have not finished the paper.

158] SPECIMEN FINAL PAPERS \ 445 

All or any of these evils might have been endured by the South 
without danger to the Union (as others have been), in the hope that 
time and reflection might apply the remedy. The immediate peril 
arises, not so much from these causes, as from the fact that the inces- 
sant and violent agitation of the Slavery question throughout the 
North for the last quarter of a century has at length produced its 
malign influence on the slaves, and inspired them vpith vague notions 
of freedom. Hence, a sense of security no longer exists around the 
family altar. This feeling of peace at home has given place to appre- 
hensions of servile insurrection. Many a matron throughout the 
South retires at night in dread of what may befall herself and her 
children before the morning. Should this apprehension of domestic 
danger, whether real or imaginary, extend and intensify itself until it 
shall pervade the masses of the Southern people, then disunion will 
become inevitable. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and 
has been implanted in the heart of man by his Creator for the wisest 
purpose ; and no political union, however fraught with blessings and 
benefits in all other respects, can long continue, if the necessary con- 
sequence be to render the homes and the firesides of nearly half the 
parties to it habitually and hopelessly insecure. Sooner or later, the 
bonds of such a union must be severed. It is my conviction that this 
fatal period has not yet arrived ; and my prayer to God is, that He 
would preserve the Constitution and the Union throughout all 
generations.
